This event was
easy to find using Mapquest. Within a few blocks of the
attraction, there were signs posted, showing you which way to
go. At Honing Road there were a couple of large
illuminated arrow signs, leading you to the parking lot.
There were also a couple of parking attendants to point you in
the right direction.

Wait
Entertainment:

They did a great
job of providing wait entertainment. At the entrance of
the event there was a two story facade that looked like a
dilapidated old shack. To enhance the atmosphere, there
were also real trees in front of the facade, cobwebs and colored
accent lighting. To keep patrons in line
entertained, there were three televisions playing horror movie
clips. There were also a couple of actors who were
entertaining the crowd waiting in line.

Summary:

The tour began in a "Hellevator",
which was an enclosure that used sound effects, flashing lights
and a moving floor to simulate a turbulent ride on an elevator.
The elevator operator was a very odd character who repeatedly
stated that I may not live through the experience.
Continuing on through the attraction, there was an array of
scenes with various themes. The dungeon had grey stone
walls, a lot of cobwebs and a girl with her wrists tied up above
her head. As the patrons walked by, she begged to be set
free. There was an area resembling a scene from the Texas
Chainsaw Massacre. A girl was chained to the wall and
several bloody, severed heads hung from the ceiling.
Before the group left the scene, Leatherface jumped out of a hiding
place and attacked them with a power saw. The next
room was a bathroom with blood-smeared walls and body parts
everywhere. In another part of the house, there was a
clown room with multi-colored lights, colorful 55 gallon drums,
clown mannequins that hung from the ceiling, as well as a couple
of real clowns that sprung to action, when the group entered the
scene. They also had a cage maze with loud rock & roll
music playing, along with multiple strobe lights to disorient
you. Inside the maze, there were a couple of actors to
taunt patrons and lead them in the wrong direction. Toward
the end of the attraction, there was a very dark maze with a
surprise or two. Other scenes included a bedroom, creepy
nursery and a playroom where the stuffed animals came to life.

Many of the actors in
this attraction high energy performances and were very eager to
scare. There were a couple, however, like the girl in the
nursery and the elevator operator, who were more creepy than
scary. For the most part, all of the actors did a great
job and stayed in character.

The X-treme Hauntings
crew did a great job this year. I've seen this event
evolve over the past couple of years and I can't wait to see
what they come up with in the future. Be sure to stop by
this attraction if you get the chance!
